VeoSearch expands to include news, flights and shopping
Howard Lake | 23 June 2008 | News
VeoSearch.com, the search engine that raises funds for charities and which launched in the UK this Spring, has extended its services to include news and travel tickets.
In partnership with online travel search engine Liligo, Veosearch now lets its users compare flight prices from 250 airline databases. Any bookings generated via Veosearch also raise funds for the user’s selected charity.
Veosearch has also partnered with Wikio to let users read relevant articles and images in their search results.
The site is also expanding into online shopping, offering another way for users to generate income for their favourite charity. The Paris-based company is partnering with price comparison site Kelkoo.com.
Veosearch is also encouraging charities to use the search site to build a community: charities can display videos, text, photos and presentations for users to browse.
Veosearch’s 50,000 users have raised £23,000 so far from 25 million searches.
